Loungewear and Tea

This can be a hard time of year to stay upbeat, at least weather-wise. The fun of the holidays is over, and most places (including the sunny South) have been taken over by snow and rain. The two things that always get me through this time of year are comfortable loungewear and great tea. In that spirit, today I've put together some loungewear, lingerie, and tea combinations that should help you beat the winter blues and get through the next few weeks until the sun comes out again.

Zinke intimates is known for their youthful and effortless style, and this Silent T and Shorts Set is no exception. It's a luxe indulgence, made from soft cashmere and rayon, and is great for sleeping or lounging in. These pieces will drape beautifully, creating long lean lines instead of that dreaded boxy look that you get from so many sleepwear pieces. When you want something to throw on over it to make your Sunday morning pancakes in, try this On the Road Again Short Robe by Zinke. The stretch cotton will keep you warm and mold to your body, and the sleeves are just the right length for getting things done. If you're looking for an alternative to your Sunday morning coffee, try this Quangzhou Milk Oolong. It's young and grassy, with just a hint of sweet cream and orchids on the finish.

If you're looking for warmth and elegance from your loungewear, look no further than Naked Princess. Start with their Lovely Ever After Cashmere & Lace Chemise, which shows just enough to entice while keeping you cozy and warm. Naked Princess MicroModal is the softest fabric out there, and their lingerie feels like a dream on. For extra warmth, layer the chemise with the Lovely Ever After Cashmere & Lace Robe which provides all the benefits of hand-knotted lace, long sleeves, and cozy MicroModal. Elevate your lounge time with a cup of Earl Grey with Lavender. This tea is a version of an early 19th century "house blend" that was lost as the classic Earl Grey tea became more popular. The bergamot will transport you to another time, and the lavender gives it a uniquely feminine touch.

If you're struggling with sticking to your healthy New Year's resolution or exercise routine, perhaps some Lytess products and some tangerine ginger tea can lift you out of your slump. Lytess makes comfortable leggings, bras, and shapewear that are infused with caffeine and shea butter. The Slimming Leggings and Lift UP Bra make a great set to start with. Lytess products are made with thick French fabric, and are soft and comfortable as well as technology adept. As you wear the products, they tone you up and improve your skin. Users report a loss of inches as well as smoother and healthier skin. These are great loungewear pieces, but can also be used during your daily yoga session.

To finish up your yoga session, try Rishi's Tangerine Ginger blend. Since you've already gotten your caffeine from your loungewear, this tangy herbal blend will help you relax as you enjoy the health benefits of ginger. Ginger has been shown to help prevent various cancers, as well as help ward off the common cold.

When you're getting ready to curl up on the couch on Saturday night with a movie, you want to be really comfortable. These Beckoning Creatures Lounge Genie Pants by Plum Pretty Sugar cinch at the ankle and have a drawstring waist for comfort. Pair them with this soft as butter Lovely Ever After Soft Tee from Naked Princess. To pick up on the colors in the pants and to add an extra layer of softness, wrap up in this Emerald Silk Short Robe by Beautiful Bottoms.

For a more sophisticated version of movie popcorn, try this Movie Night tea instead. This green tea base with a hint of caramel corn is healthy and tastes even better than butter covered popcorn.
